Fondant Baby Shower Cake

Fondant Baby Shower Cake on Cake Central

My first attempt at a fondant cake. I think it went pretty well. I used the Alternative Marshmallow Fondant recipe I found on CC and really liked it!! 10" and 6" chocolate cakes..covered with buttercream and then fondant. Gumpaste and fondant accents. I believe this was a wilton cake, but I got the idea from this site. Thanks for looking.

Wow...fantabulous!! Thanks! I used the vinyl method to roll out and transfer the fondant to the cake...worked like a charm.

The lettering....2 words....pure hell. I enlarged a font that I liked...printed them out on cardstock, cut them out then laid them on the fondant and cut around them with an exacto knife....took me about an hour for 4 letters.....and they were FRAGILE! Swear it was my first attempt...couldn't even sleep last night because of it.

beautiful, what is the vinyl method for rolling the fondant. I have only worked with fondant a few times, it is a texture issue for me. I hate to see all the hard work that goes into it for the customers/family to peel it off. Yours is beautiful, you should be very proud!
